Project Wild Penguin 20.4.2017: Wifi Connection Bug in Xubuntu 17.04

On googling, I've found out that there is a bug in the latest release. So to fix the bug, I followed the steps mentioned in one of the solutions provided by the good folks at askubuntu.com. The steps given were as follow: Open terminal and run: sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf   At the bottom of the file, copy and paste the following: [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no     Then just save and close the file and run: sudo service network-manager restart Check if Wifi is enabled or not.

Click on Apply Changes and then restart the system, the Wifi should be enabled now. Hope...
